Storyline

Their fallen camera records a bit of how a couple of 'ghostbusters' filming at Halloween on a traditional Hawaiian burial site are brutally murdered. Forensics soon finds more modern bodies, as if used by a serial killer, and a record trace to a suspect, who is found murdered in his home. Danny, who failed to respect the local taboo, falls victim perhaps to bad luck (in finding a new flat that's rather his own doing) and vandalism, which yields another murder suspect.

Quotes

Kono Kalakaua: Greg Straithan - nice long sheet. Burgulary two, criminal trespass. Did three years in Chino, in California for assault. Looks good for a suspect.
Officer Lori Weston: Except for the part where he's not actually alive.

User Reviews

Ka Iwi Kapu Goes Kaput **1/2

Curses, burial sites, body parts, they're all a part of the Halloween madness which unfortunately affected this episode.

Scott Caan really stole this episode. He is looking for a reasonable rental and was trying to get an apartment of a murder victim. He actually was telling the landlord to lower the rent because of this. What a rude awakening he had at the end. I wish he'd try this in New York.

The episode was eerie and spooky in the Halloween tradition. Hawaiian culture was discussed and Danny also showed his utter disdain for all of the island's traditional beliefs. Did they come back to haunt him!
